Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C, or gas mark 5). Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Spread out the chickpeas, broccoli, bell peppers, and onion on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Spread them out in one even layer. Roast for 20 minutes, mix the veggies,and swap the pans in the oven so the one on top is now on the bottom.Roast for another 10 to 15 minutes until the veggies are starting to char and the chickpeas are crispy (they will continue to crisp up as they sit).
• Add ½ cup (98 g) of cooked rice to each of 4 bowls. Divvy up the roasted vegetables, diced avocado, and cilantro equally among the bowls. Drizzle with the BBQ sauce.
• To make the BBQ sauce, place all the ingredients into a blender; use 2 chipotle peppers if you like it spicier. Purée until smooth. Transfer sauce to a pot over medium-high heat and bring to aboil and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until thick, or until the desired consistency is reached.
